Abstract
In this work, we successfully measured the hydration dynamics and thickness of the most external layer of skin; the stratum corneum (SC) of 95 healthy volunteers accurately using our own home-built hand-held THz scanner in reflection configuration. The water accumulation in this layer of skin has been monitored within one minute in a non-invasive fashion.
